Changing valuation class for the materials

[Former Member]

Friends

My requirement is to change the valuation class of the materials where stocks ,PO , GRN, I.V and Payments are available for that material code. Kindly guide as to whether i have to remove the stocks , reverse the grn, reverse I.V , reverse payments,delete PO to acheive the change in valuation class or can i skip any of the above steps to acheive the valuation class change for the material.

In short, please inform what are the prerequisites for changing the valuation class of a materials when open Stocks, PO,grn,i.v,payments exist for it

Regards

Hi Arvind,

1. First be sure that no stocks in actual AND previous period exist !

see note 30656, with an example how to get zero stocks.

2. SE16 ->table EKPO. Select all po items of the related material.

If you find items with LOEKZ <> 'L' you have to delete them in

ME22N.

3. SE16 ->table AFPO. Select all items of the related material/plant.

If you find at least one item, change of val.clss. is not possible.

You have to archive these production order(s) (see note 146241).

This hard restriction is necessary as inconsistencies in account

assignment will follow after change of val.cass, when proceeding

follow up functions of a po item before and after changing valuation

class.

So, all depending purchase order items of this material/plant have to be

marked for deletion in tx ME22/ME22N, also when they are old and

completely delivered and invoice check is performed.

Hi,

To change the valuation class for any material, make sure that there is no open PR,PO,Reservation,Invoice...etc.

System will not allow to change valuation calss if any stock and open PO s are existing.

you need to reverse invoice

you need to reverse GRNs

deletel all PO and PR.

create some other dummy mataerial and make stock transfer , material to material using MB1B,

Now goto MM02 for that material and change the valutation class.
